Abstract
Employing antigens with expression restricted to normal intestinal mucosa and derivative colorectal tumors - cancer mucosa antigens (CMAs) - represents a novel paradigm in anti-tumor immunotherapy. Immune compartmentalization limits tolerance to CMAs and restricts mucosa-targeted autoimmunity, allowing safe and effective immunotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. Guanylyl cyclase C (GCC), an intestine/colorectal cancer-restricted protein, is poised for clinical evaluation as the index CMA.Entities:
